Distribution Poles for Power and Utilities
Union
Metal steel distribution poles provide an excellent alternative to wood distribution
poles with a number of significant advantages and efficiencies. Chief among
these is the ability to outperform wood in harsh and even catastrophic weather
conditions.
Inclement weather of all types can seriously impact the performance of distribution
lines. Snow and ice add weight. Winds can toss trees onto lines — and
in certain conditions, even bring the lines down completely. The strength and
durability of steel distribution poles provide a dependable and cost-effective
defense against these weather-related threats to an electric utility’s
ability to deliver power to its customers.
Union Metal steel distribution poles are produced in a wide variety of sizes
and configurations to match almost any customer requirement. Weighing approximately
70% less than comparable wood structures, the steel poles are easier and less
expensive to handle and install.
Additional advantages of steel distribution poles include:
• Uniform metal strength: Provides more consistent and
predictable long-term performance
• Corrosion and damage-resistance: Treated and finished
steel stands up to the elements and other environmental factors
• Sturdier stance: Steel poles are direct-embedded for
most standard applications
• Ecological efficiency: Conform to EPA regulations,
eliminate deforestation concerns, and are fully reusable and recyclable.
